Future crop suitability assessment and the integration of Orphan crops into Kenya's food systems
… Temperature and rainfall data, downloaded from CORDEX, from four statistically downscaled Global Climate Models (GCMs) under the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 8.5 and 4.5 were used to run the Ecocrop model. The output was the suitability index spatially plotted over the country for …
